I always thought of Dyson similar to Apple products. Sure you’ll get a more powerful machine for fraction of the price if you get a windows computer, but you’re missing out on the brand and the experience. Most consumer don’t care about cpu

What really irks me about this whole thing is how Uber Eats and Door Dash is unaffected by all this. Delivery workers have almost exactly the same paradigm, but I guess they're not enforcing it, because of the number of restaurants, dr

> Truck drivers are 94% men, no one complains about that. Used to work at Uber Freight. There were definitely conversations around safety for women drivers or a lack thereof. Just wanted to point out that this statement is a little presu

I personally think the value of a Harvard education is not necessarily what you learn, but who you meet. That's why it's critical for majority of the student body to be in close proximity to one another. I wonder if they could cra

I honestly think that platforms like Github and Patreon is the future of universal basic income. I think as labor becomes deprecated due to globalization and automation, more and more people are going to quit their jobs and pursue more crea

I think a good iterative solution is to keep pay the same but change all laws to pivot around a 32-hour work week instead of 40. This will force employers to hire more people or pay more over time for any work past 32 hours. I think UBI is

I read Beloved when I was in high school. I was so entranced in the world she created, that time passed without me noticing. Truly a visionary author. Unrelated, but it's kind of scary how many comments have, if not an undertone, just

I think the biggest thing for me when I was living in the suburbs of Japan is that I could taxi from a station to a remote destination, but on the way back I had to either take a bus or just walk the whole way back. I definitely wish I had

I actually got work in Japan. My passport was expired, and I went to renew it. They always ask how you're staying in the states and to show evidence. At that point my green card was expired and I only had naturalization to show. At tha

As a naturalized US citizen, I had to give up my Japanese citizenship. It was a hard decision to make since half my immediate family is still Japanese and I still love Japan. In part I never forgave Japan that they forced me to make this de

I'm always irked by hns attitude towards women leaders. There so many comments trying to discredit her or trying to shame her for self promotion. In general, there's always a sexist undertone, and I feel like the anonymity of hn b

Smarter, less-sensational form of news-entertainment. It's a good alternative to Fox News/ CNN, even better than NYT/WSJ. I also like the focus on tech/start ups, I feel like I'm being slightly more productive.

I think this issue is tricky, because some political ideology that the "right" expresses involve a statement of the identity of their coworkers. I find that in the valley, people express diverse set of political economic ideologie
